Overvolt Damage to my pc?

[Tim_Horton]

So I'm messing around with the intel extreme tuning utility and like a dumbass I crank my core voltage to 2 volts. My computer immediately crashes. It turned right back on and seems to be fine, but do you think I have done any physical damage to my cpu or mobo?

What CPU are we talking about here?

 

[Tim_Horton]

i5 4460

I've heard of them taking up to 2.2 volts in an overclock with proper cooling...

If you can boot the system, have you run stress tests?

only a quick 10 minute test. ill try a more extensive one. It seem to be okay though. it was only at 2 volts for maybe a maximum of 5 second before it shut off.

Do you think there would be permanent damage from this very brief overvolt. What would the signs be? Its been like a week or so and it seems to be okay(stress tests are good, not overheating, the default dynamic core voltage seems to be the same) but i'm still kind of worried that I may have hurt it.

DONT SET IT TO 2.2 VOLTS FOR GODS SAKE.

IT WILL DAMAGE YOUR CPU!

THE MAX VOLTAGE FOR YOUR CPU IS 1.3 ONLY!

DONT LISTEN TO THIS GUY THAT ADVISED YOU!

Don't worry. I didn't. I was terrified enough when I accidentally set it to 2 volts. But thanks for the concern!

Good! Limit it to 1.3 only.
